A heavy, slanted slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely even, with gently rounded joins and subtly bracketed slabs that read more like cut blocks than sharp hairlines. Counters are relatively small, terminals are blunt, and the overall silhouette is built from sturdy, simplified shapes that keep letterforms cohesive at display sizes. The texture on a line is dense and emphatic, with a consistent forward lean and a slightly bouncy, irregular rhythm typical of robust display slabs.
Best suited to display settings where mass and motion are assets: headlines, posters, logos, merchandise, and packaging. It also works well for short subheads or callouts where you want a bold, retro tone and strong typographic presence.
The font projects a confident, vintage energy—part sports headline, part roadside poster. Its chunky slabs and italic momentum give it a lively, energetic voice that feels bold, friendly, and attention-seeking rather than refined or understated.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display slab that combines sturdy, block-built serifs with an italic push to create energetic, attention-grabbing typography. The emphasis is on bold silhouettes and a cohesive, poster-ready texture rather than delicate detail.
Uppercase forms come across as particularly poster-like due to their broad stance and blocky serifs, while the lowercase keeps a readable, workmanlike structure with strong word-shapes. Numerals match the same weight and sturdiness, supporting impactful titling and short bursts of text.
